Internal Combustion Engines Lab/

This course provides a comprehensive study of internal combustion engines (ICEs) with emphasis on their principles of operation, thermodynamic analysis, combustion processes, performance evaluation, and environmental impact. The course covers both spark-ignition (SI) and compression-ignition (CI) engines, including two-stroke and four-stroke cycles.

Students will analyze ideal and real engine cycles (Otto, Diesel, and Dual cycles), evaluate engine performance parameters, and understand the influence of fuel properties, combustion characteristics, and operating conditions on engine efficiency and emissions. The course also introduces engine testing methods, emission control techniques, and modern engine technologies such as turbocharging, direct injection, and hybrid powertrains.

The course is designed to bridge theoretical thermodynamics with practical engineering applications, preparing students for advanced studies and professional practice in automotive, power generation, and energy systems engineering.

The objective of this module is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of control systems, enabling them to master the fundamental principles of automatic control, the associated mathematical tools (Laplace transform and transfer functions), the analysis of the dynamic behavior and stability of feedback control systems, as well as the modeling of simple mechanical systems, while linking these theoretical concepts to real industrial applications in mechanical engineering.

Acquire various experimental and measurement techniques, particularly those used in energy. Learn to choose the right instruments and sensors to set up your own experiments. Be able to assess errors.
